We live near this house. The police said that a 911 call was placed out of that house and the caller said she had a gun and was going to hurt herself. The police showed up and tried to discourage it, but were unsuccessful.

The neighborhood is currently secured while the investigation is under way.

Does anyone know why Willow Pass Road was closed this afternoon at 5 p.m.? The cops had flares down at Lynwood – not allowing traffic to go up WP Road to the freeway. However, I was able to come down into Concord. I saw numerous cars pulled over.

People love to blame the police for being “trigger happy”. Yes there are times that the outcome could have been different. But often given a split second decision, if the officer thinks his/her life is in danger they should protect themselves. If it was your family member I bet you would say pull the trigger to save yourself first.

Just because you wear a badge doesn’t mean your above the law. All you hear about on the news nation wide are about police misconduct and corruptions. Planting evidence, shooting unarmed people, falsifying reports, stealing narcotics, and the list goes on!

The police may NOT use less than lethal force; they are trained to shoot for the center mass, double tap if need be. The idea is for officer protection, and protect others that may be inadvertently involved.

If you shoot for their knee, as in days of yore, you may miss and hit someone else and give the shooter the chance to shoot you. Our training and logic was that at the end of the day, WE went home. The perp went to jail (best case) or the morgue (worst case).

There is a defenite Use of Force Ladder police must follow. But you have recused yourself from finding out about that in favor of the easier “bad mean policeman” reasoning.

Trigger happy,,my eye,,,,Let’s get it straight,,Concord Police deals with a lot of un-predictable people,,,,The headlines never should include an officer getting hurt! I just saw the news on KTVU,,,,,,,,, you should always obey Police commands!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never the less,,Concord Police is still the best Dept around,,,, while we are all asleep,,they are keeping Concord safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trigger Happy:
No,all you hear about the police isn’t bad, its mostly good. People like you filter out the good and love the bad. Without knowing anything at all about the situation you advise us how the cops screwed up.

Clearly you have zero training in law enforcement. Having served myself in the U.S. Army we’re trained to utilize escalation of force. These first responding officers absolutely used their proper protocol. What about the families that live next door? Across the street? This woman is pointing a gun at officers, while frightened people watch from their windows, and the officer is expected to approach the woman to tase? I think not.

So now that it has been elucidated that this woman came towards officers, brandishing a gun, do you still think the officers overreacted? Still think they could have safely employed a taser or talked her down? They did what they are trained to do and what they needed to do, which is protect themselves, and the citizens of the city which they serve.

People like Trigger Happy will always blame police for these kind of scenarios which are thrust upon them. There’s no reasoning with the unreasonable, so it’d be better to save your energy for something constructive. Most everyone else reading understands just how silly his/her comments are.

If you taser someone who is pointing a gun at you (or anywhere really) what do you think the result would be?

I’ll tell you. Your muscles “pull” together, all of them, which is why tased folks fall, they can no longer balance. THIS INCLUDES THE FINGER ON THE TRIGGER. Do you know what this means? Pow! – bullet(s) flying unaimed into what or WHO?

Tasers MAY be employed against knife\bat\pipe\brick\etc weilding folks, or those resisting arrest; but NEVER against someone with their gun out. Never. You don’t ask nicely for them to drop it when IT’S POINTED AT YOU. (If it’s not, yes, you demand they drop it and show you their hands) You shoot to kill in these “active shooter” scenarios. And it must be a Center Mass shot.

Please educate yourself about Law Enforcement procedures\reasoning and the rules of force before brandishing your uneducated opinions about the folks that would take a bullet to save your life.
